When in comes to in-home care, Comfort Keepers is the "real deal"! I had been living with and caring for my mom since 2000, when my dad passed away. Mom's physical and mental decline was progressing, to the point where I was not comfortable leaving her home alone....read more I wanted to continue working, and struggled with the guilt of "not loving mom enough" to quit my job and be a full time caregiver. I did not want to admit that I needed help. We tried the "Assisted Living" route, and failed miserably after less than 2 years. Mom needed one on one attention and interaction. I had promised her that if things didn't work out, she could move back home. In September, 2015, mom came home. Fortunately, for both of us, I found Comfort Keepers. What a God-send! I was able to continue working, and mom had regular care givers who were professional, loving, caring and engaging! Mom became active again, going to the Wayne Senior Center frequently, or out to lunch, to get her hair done, doctor appointments or visit friends. Mom's care givers were attentive and quick to have mom help with chores around the house - prepping for dinner, folding laundry, sorting through mail, drying dishes. I would often come home to mom and Tanya laughing at a Carol Burnett episode that was playing, or finishing up a game of Old Maids or working a 1000 piece puzzle in the living room. Liz would be sure to pray with mom every morning before breakfast. Kathy showed mom how to make a holiday decoration using a coat hangar, string and LOTS of caramel candies! Dinner was family time, and we all sat down to eat together, with much conversation, silliness and laughter. Comfort Keepers care givers know how to create memories and excel at elevating a person's quality of life! Mom's care givers had my complete trust, I knew mom was in good hands. The office staff was wonderful, too. Available 24/7, always pro-active and accommodating with changes in mom's schedule and supportive and compassionate when mom's health took a turn for the worse. Mom passed away 3 weeks shy of her 95th birthday - I am convinced that, because of her Comfort Keepers care givers, the last few years were some of her best! I would highly recommend, without reservation, Comfort Keepers to anyone looking for exceptional quality in-home care......look no further! Outstanding people: respectful, hard-working, humorous, patient, creative, collaborative, sensitive, insightful and observant...........you get it all with Comfort Keepers, they are the "real deal" in in-home care!read less

My family contacted Comfort Keepers to take care of my grandmother about two years ago and have not had a single regret since. My family and most importantly my grandmother cannot say enough for how great the service has been.The Scheduling Department has been amazing trying to accommodate my...read more Grandmom's very hectic and constantly changing schedule either due to doctor's appointments or just her forgetfulness at the young age of 93. They are always friendly and extremely professional whether it is helping me find a day that works best for us, matching my grandmother with a caregiver who is the perfect fit, or calling us with a reminder call with the upcoming schedule.My grandmother's relationship with some of the Comfort Keeper's Staff is so strong that she talks about them as though they are part of her family. From the Comfort Keeper's staff visiting her when she was hospitalized, to her caregiver even showing up at her Son-in-law's funeral. They seem to always find a way to go above and beyond what is expected of them.The Office Staff has also made our experience very easy by staying in constant communication with us as to changes in my grandmother's health whether it is positive or negative. They are an advocate for my grandmother in many ways, whether it be speaking with her social worker to get her the care she requires, to checking in on her when she has been in the hospital to ensure for a smooth transition home, and keeping us up to date on any changes that my grandmother may have that her caregiver may notice while we cannot be there with her. Having Comfort Keeper's enter our lives has only helped my grandmother to remain independent and in her home.If you or a loved one is in need of a Home Health Care Company then I would highly recommend Comfort Keepers Springfield.read less
